​Ch 2 Review
To answer these questions, completely explain content from the book, including quotations and page numbers. Answer thoroughly. You shouldn't just have a sentence or two for your answers.


  1. What is the World Federation? What is the Freedom League? What objections do they have about the Overlords? (Pay attention not only to when Stormgren meets with Wainwright, but also when Stormgren reviews that discussion with Karellen.) What does this show about the society created in this book?
  2. What happens during the first week after the Overlords arrive? What do we learn about them? Based on their actions, what can we assume they know about us?
  3. What is the first resistance to the Overlords and what is the result of that resistance? What can we assume about the Overlords because of this?
  4. What resistance is met against the World Federation policy that results in the only active response in the Overlords? Why is there resistance? What do the Overlords do, and what is the result? What can be determined from the way the Overlords handled this situation?
  5. We witness a meeting between Stormgren and Karellen. Describe Stormgren’s meeting with the Supervisor. How does he meet with him, where, what is the setting? What do they discuss and what do we learn about Stormgren, Karellen, and Earth’s future during this meeting?
  6. What subtle changes occurred since the Overlords arrived? (Focus on info from pages 26 – 27 only. In black covered book, it's pages 18-19.) In addition, explain how this society is not only similar to but also different from the one in which we currently live.
